looking forward to virtually every media organization publishing an “elon musk says” piece breaking this down

oh, they only do that for his bullshit sci-fi hype posts? curious

AI is going to make it nearly impossible for anyone to afford a new PC, phone, or gaming console -- all in the name of a future that will never come to pass and a present that will just make a few dudes rich. This is unacceptable

Every day I am filled with hate because my heart overflows with my love of the computer. aftermath.site/ram-prices-h...

still remember the "it's too early/hyperbolic/irresponsible to compare these guys to Nazi Germany" Reasonable Posters - whom, I imagine, are waiting for the renovations to be completed before they update their priors

ICE killed a US citizen in Texas. The public was not told a federal agent fired the fatal shot until much later.

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

The Left Doesn't Hate Technology, We Hate Being Exploited Techno-cynics are all just wounded techno-optimists.

"Techno-cynics are all just wounded techno-optimists" describes my trajectory from seeing how the internet COULD HAVE and in some ways did increase democracy to seeing the richest people in the world figure out how to use tech to exploit and manipulate the rest of us. aftermath.site/anthropic-cl...

hahaha seriously though we should charge these people as child sex traffickers

The news cycle around AOC’s “gaffe” is, in my humble opinion, a clear manufacturing of a “gaffe” where there was none. But it’s indicative of the belief undergirding a lot of MSM that if one “side” is behaving badly, the other “side” must be positioned as doing something wrong, too, for “fairness”

substack just keeps providing even more reasons to get off that platform. if the nazis were bad enough, now it’s pushing irresponsible gambling sites on writers and readers alike.

We Have Learned Nothing About Amplifying Morons “Looksmaxxers” are losers and freaks, but we let them steer the culture when we adopt their terminology.

we're doing glossy profiles of shitheads again? ok cool ok cool

If you need so much help writing an email subject line that it is faster to go to another website, type in a prompt that is longer than the subject line would be, wait for a machine to generate ideas, and then copy/paste in the email, you are the sloth from Zootopia.

Whenever I hear someone say something like “AI is so useful, it helps me write email subject lines!” I realize that a lot of people are just really fucking bad at their jobs.

It seems nuts to me that CNN has partnered with an online gambling site (Kalshi) and hypes their betting lines as “news” to report.

Investing in public transit cuts emissions, lowers the cost of living, and improves our quality of life. 

Today, we're releasing our transit plan to make getting around our communities easier, safer, and more affordable. 

Read our plan and join us in building the public transit system we deserve.

disrespectfully, what the fuck are you talking about. you don't need an ID at the library. you need a library card, which anyone can get.

I hacked ChatGPT and Google's AI – and it only took 20 minutes I found a way to make AI tell you lies – and I'm not the only one.

I got a tip that all over the world, people are using a dead-simple hack to manipulate AI behavior. It turns out changing what AI tells other people can be as easy as writing a blog post *on your own website*

I didn’t believe it, so I decided to test it myself www.bbc.com/future/artic...

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

All the fascism and birthright citizenship stuff went out the window for a few shiny medals

the only convincing argument for the continuation of capitalism is "capitalism is really hard to get rid of"

no one who *likes* it has a good argument, any real debate comes down to "is what comes next worth what it would cost to get rid of capitalism?"

I find it frustrating that the left has been characterized as more prone to scolding when the right’s entire culture is built on an openly insidious kind of scolding

So it seems like my once radical position of “the existence of a border implies the violence needed to defend it so in order to end all war we must abolish all borders” is becoming mainstream

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

why won’t the left just praise every technology handed down from self-interested billionaires seeking only to enhance their power and profits?! clearly, they’re the ones in the wrong if they can’t get on board 😤

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

This whole fight over transgender stuff happening on X is so weird to me. The most notable thing about trans issues in the last 5 years has been the enormous, coordinated anti-trans activism campaign across the right, aided by moral cowards in the center.

But that campaign is *never mentioned*.

ask anyone on the left about high-speed trains

Israeli military says more than 1,500 Canadians were serving in its ranks last year The news comes after the RCMP confirmed it would collect reports from the public about possible war crimes by Hamas or the IDF.

"Israeli military says more than 1,500 Canadians were serving in IOF ranks last year"

This is enraging. Canada is listed as one of top ten countries of dual nationals in the IOF (after US, France, Germany)

Not only is Canada arming Zionist enemy, Canadians are authorized to commit genocide in Gaza

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.
